Best SGS seat for looks & comfort?

The Outcast works poorly for 2 up, not it's intended use and it was tough on the OL girly parts with the rear slope.
The Maverick is her preferred seat, I can live with it, but, for style I really like the Villain. Don't think it fits your need as it is lower and certainly a sacrifice of comfort for style.
I sold the Outcast as it was not a 2-up seat nor was it a Daddy Longs Legs version. I kept the other 2 - we use the Villain for short rides and the Maverick for longer rides.

For me the most comfortable seat that still retains the "stripped down" look of the Street Glide has been a C&C Wide Solo with backrest. I can easily do day trips on it without issues. If you still want the option of having a passenger they have a choice of a couple different passenger pillions too.

I've had 3 LePera seats, Outcast, Maverick and Villian. I liked them all, but they are firm seats. I spent 10 yrs on a hardtail so they are all an improvement in comfort.

OK don't get me wrong, I love my Hammock seat for touring and riding two-up, but I've got to admit it's a little on the ugly side.
I recently taught my wife to ride and she's now got her own Sporty, so I'm doing a lot more solo riding. I'm thinking of a second seat for day trips and town cruising, one that's a little more compatible with the looks of the Street Glide.
I really like the looks of the Corbin Gunfighter and the La Pera Silhouette, but don't know how comfortable they would be after a few hours in the saddle. Also I don't want anything really low (I like the height of the Hammock). I am also considering just sending the stock seat to Mean City.
Feedback from anyone else who has gone this route would be appreciated.

Comfort and looks don't seem to go hand in hand, if you can get your hands on a cvo seat you probably will be happy with it. I have both the hammock and the stock cvo so I'm going to tell you the hammock is going to be hard to remove once you put it on. And I don't mean labor lol

or you can go with this when it's just you, it covers the big *** back seat and really is handy
